'Some people want me to have a problem with Gareth' - Zidane angrily dismisses claims of Bale rift

The French head coach praised the Welshman's contribution after a win that saw their team take a six-point lead at the summit of La Liga

Zinedine Zidane has lashed out at journalists, accusing them of inventing a divide between him and Gareth Bale that the Real Madrid boss says doesn’t exist.

Bale played over an hour of Real’s La Liga game with Osasuna, a 4-1 win for Los Blancos that took them six points clear at the top of the table - at least until Barcelona’s game with Real Betis on Sunday evening.
